A Description Of The Godly

3 The one who does not slander with his tongue, who does no evil to his neighbor, and who does not destroy his friend's reputation.
4 The one who despises those rejected by God but honors those who reverence (respect) Jehovah. The one who makes a promise and does not break it even though he is hurt by it.
4 In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them that fear the LORD. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not.
4 In (c)whose eyes a reprobate is despised,But (d)who (H)honors those who fear the Lord;He (I)swears to his own hurt and does not change;

4 The one who despises those who are utterly wicked, but who honors the one who fears the LORD, who keeps his word even when it hurts and does not change,
5 The one who does not collect interest on a loan or take a bribe against an innocent person. Whoever does these things will never fall or be upset.
5 He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.
5 He (J)does not put out his money (e)at interest,Nor (K)does he take a bribe against the innocent.(L)He who does these things will never be shaken.
